We have brought our handcrafted blankets to children throughout Boston area hospitals, shelters, social service organizations, one time events, and to individuals. Many children who have lost a relative, who are sick, were involved with house fires, or other devastating incidents like hurricanes, domestic violence, opioid crisis, and acts of terrorism have received blankets through the some organizations below and word of mouth.
Project Linus: Greater Boston Chapter has distributed over 100,000 handmade blankets in the Greater Boston area since the chapter inception in 1998.
Some of the most touching moments are when we give your blankets to individual children or families that we hear about through personal connection, references or read about in the newspaper. If you know of a child in need of a handmade hug or are an organization looking to partner with us, please contact us, we can coordinate drop off or mail blankets if needed.
